The Asylum Record.

At the asylum the work of the year has
been the beginning of "a renewal and ar
rangement of the farm buildings, looking,
upon il, completion. to the establishment of
a farm department. with all the buildings
grouped about the farm house
The work OF the past season has been the
building of new pgEery, and the erection
of an uN-stable, with connected shed aud
calf pens, with loft above. The piggery
is located upon "A plateau above and to the

FARM IMPROVEMENTS.

Timely Suggestions for the Considerstloa
Of Thoughtful Agricaltarists.
Every thing in nature is apparently
grand waste of power and effort
A weed natures three million seeds
and perhaps a dozen grow. A pine in
the forest during its life sheds meal
culable myriads Of seeds and only few
Of them germinate. Trees produce
fruit and seeds mature into plants only
to be destroyed by insects; animals
breed and multiply and then starve or
perish by disease. or destroy each other.
1t seems As il the whole organic crea-
ton was made to finally perish and be-
come food for invisible germs. The
matter remains. and is changed con-
stantly. but the force seems to be used
without useful effect until man takes
hold Of his domain and ''replenishes the
earth" But man himself to q great
extent follows this universal principle.
and not only savage people destroy
each other. and perish by self-infiictcd
neglects and injuries. but civilized
nations bend their most untiring
energies to arm themselves for mutual
slaughter. The farmer is the conserva-
tive and protecting agent He turns
natural laws into defined channels and
directs their operation. But he is still
imperfect in this art. for he has not sue
ceeded As yet in diverting the destruc-
tive action Of these natural laws.
Spring time is opportune for consider
ing this subject SO that better and more
systematic efforts may be made at once
Tor effect the coming season.
Insects prey upon crops and upon
iarm animals. Germs of disease. ever
present in the atmosphere. attack the
animals weakened by unhealthful food
or other unwholesome conditions. In
furious animals. IS dogs. ravage the
nocks; the quarrelsome members of the
herd wound and harass the weaker
one; and in many ways the farmer finds
his labor spent for naught. What can
be done to avoid these injuries? Much
that is in the power Of the farmers.
First the natural lsws which control
these things should Be studied Tha
habits Of destructive insects should be
learned and systematic work done to
destroy them. The livestock should
be bettersfed and cared for. the laws ol
nutrition studied and the nature Of the
foods be known. The evil results Of
foul air, filth, impure water and injudi-
cious breeding must b realized and Z
healthful system Of Management Be
carried out Injurious animals should
be made harmless Dogs should be
kept in subsection; horns should be pre-
vented by the simple process Of removal
Of the germs when the animal il young;
the land should Be cultivated under the
best methods. and at the same time the
farmers should insist upon . reduction
Of the public burdens BY economy in
expenditure and the stoppags Of all
wastes and eostlv iobberv.-0es w

Bonnets and hats are now trimmed
profusely with ribbon. and large. high

much worn by young ladies. as also

Small bomnets Of tulle and beads, open
